Meanwhile, the Hyderabad office of the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) had said that Telangana would continue to receive light to moderate rain or thundershowers.

Last month, pointing out that most of the roads in the city were being damaged due to rainfall, Hyderabad Mayor Dr B Rammohan directed the Engineering Wing of the GHMC to take up the works pertaining to potholes immediately by deploying additional labour and teams wherever necessary.

The Mayor stated that though recarpeting of roads had been taken up before the monsoon, the roads were getting damaged due to continuous rains, which has inconvenienced a lot of citizens.

Rammohan pointed out that the GHMC only had one BT Hot Mix Plant at Chudi Bazar and carrying the material to different parts of the city was causing delay, following which it was decided to set up temporary BT Hot Mix plants in areas across the city.

In June, stating that it has deployed teams ready to tackle waterlogging, inundation and other problems that low-lying areas could face this monsoon, the GHMC had also said that several enforcement drives were conducted to remove encroachments on drains.

The GHMC has also deployed teams with all necessary equipment for road repairs and for dewatering low-lying areas with pump sets if there is waterlogging.
